Schisandra chinensis has high medicinal value. Its name originated from Su Song, a famous doctor in Song Dynasty. Su Song once described Schisandra as follows: "The five flavors of the skin are sweet and sour, the core is hard and salty, so the five flavors are like this." Therefore, Schisandra chinensis got its name. Schisandra chinensis has the effect of nourishing the five internal organs because of its five flavors, because Chinese medicine believes that acid enters the liver, bitter enters the heart, sweet enters the spleen, pungent enters the lung and salty enters the kidney.

Schisandra chinensis can nourish the qi of the five internal organs. For example, Sun Simiao, a famous doctor in the Tang Dynasty, thought that "Fructus Schisandrae Chinensis is often taken in May to supplement the qi of the five internal organs", and Li Shizhen, a medical scientist in the Ming Dynasty, once said that "Fructus Schisandrae Chinensis tastes salty and sour, enters the liver to nourish the kidney, and the heart is hard to replenish the lungs, and it is sweet in the palace to benefit the spleen and stomach."
